The White House today will launch the third and final part of the Obama transparency and openness initiative where the White House CTO’s office will invite the public to “collaborate on crafting constructive proposals to address challenges from the Discussion phase.”

You can find all the information about the White House transparency initiative on the White House openness portal — www.whitehouse.gov/open.

Part three, which is scheduled to launch sometime today after a few delays, is the “draft” phase. The White House describes it as the ability to “collaborate on crafting constructive proposals to address challenges from the Discussion phase.”

Meanwhile, here is the note that the White House sent to participants late last week:

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights with us through Phase II of the Open Government Consultation (www.whitehouse.gov/open). Given the vibrant and growing discussion, we have decided to extend Phase II through the end of this week. Phase III, the Drafting Phase, will begin on Monday, June 22nd.

We’ve been very pleased with the discussion so far and we warmly invite your continued participation in this process. Please encourage your colleagues, friends, and family to join the discussion at www.whitehouse.gov/open.
